Haha this is true.
It's a shame Richard and his dad only had one episode of "Meet the Christies." They're a fascinating duo.
It's crazy what 25 years can do:
Mid-90s: "Oh man, am I tired. I went to Scores last night with Jackie and Fred...let me tell you all about it after THEEEESSSSSEEEEE WORDS!"
2022: "I had dinner at 3pm, was in bed by 5pm, zonked by 8:30 after I saw the Bachelor, awake at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep."

I'm listening to a bit from 2013 when Howard was talking about jerking off to doctor-patient porn. He said it's crazy how he couldn't find anything in English and wondered if doctor-patient porn is illegal in the USA. He said he can say "pussy" and "asshole" in German and Japanese.
I'm just finding it fascinating that someone has zero issue telling us the explicit details of what he jerks off to and just about his entire sex life...and some others have issues opening up to their shrinks.
And now Howard is talking about how he peed "and made a doody" and all those details.
He says German porn is better than Rosetta Stone. He can go to a doctor in Germany and get seduced.

Weird Al is in a new biopic. Some of it is obviously the "Jewish thing" but it's crazy how much he looks like Howard.
Yes. They're both on Late Night (Seth Meyers) on Wednesday's show.

This whole thing about Elon and these fake accounts which are all verified...
You all think Eric the Actor was pissed off when people were imitating him on Twitter? Bah! Elon has to be furious.
Then again, it's be hysterical to see a verified EricTheActor6969 account tweet stuff like: "I love ACK Artie Lange ACK ACK! I want to buttfuck him ACK ACK! Kelly Clarkson is fat and ugly ACK ACK!"

I couldn't make it all the way through that video. Her voice might be the most annoying voice since vocal fry on The Bachelor.
Give me MfB over that voice.
This week on Howard 101 at 1pm, they're taking fan requests. We heard some old stuff today. Yesterday was the final hour or so of the final FM show.
Somehow, it's entirely appropriate that a search for "922 WINE" *still* brings up Jackie's joke line.
Of course, it wouldn't be Jackie without the dirty joke line plugging the TikTok *and* the Twitter in process of plugging TikTok.
Use your fingah! (516) 922-9463 and always remember.... F. Jackie!

Today I learned Billy West was on Boston radio before Howard Stern with 25+ year morning man Charles Laquidara (on his show The Big Mattress).
That Google adventure led to me to an article, written about Charles retiring in 2000. I thought this was an interesting part of the story, featuring a name Stern used to mention regularly:
Mel Karmazin, then president of Infinity and now CEO of Infinity and CBS owner Viacom, was Laquidara's pal. But the relationship became chilly as Karmazin moved up the ladder. They no longer had lunch, and Karmazin would just nod hello. Finally, Laquidara presented Karmazin with an offer. He would write him a check for $3,000 -- $1,000 a minute for three minutes of his time, about what it was worth then - so he could find out what the tension was about. "I knew full well that he'd never cash it," says Laquidara.
Karmazin took him up on it. Laquidara recounts the meeting: "He looks at his watch and says, 'Go, you've got three minutes.' I say, 'Well, I just want to know why you don't talk to me anymore, why you won't have lunch with me anymore.' He says, 'Things are just different now. To start with, you leave every day an hour after your show, while Howard Stern is still working on his show, for the next day of his show, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. You have the attitude that you're not going to celebrate when the ratings come out and they're good, because you don't cry when the ratings come out and they're bad. And you use the old hackneyed line that "I just do the best I can and that's all the company can expect of me."
" 'Well, that's not what we expect of you. We expect you to cry when the ratings are bad and celebrate with champagne when they're good. And also, I've been hearing that every time there's some kind of a union grievance, with someone who's being "oppressed by the company," instead of being on management's side, you're sitting in there with your union hat on. You pretend to be a union person, but you make more money than anybody in the city. I gave you stock options that I didn't even give Howard. You're the only jock in the entire Infinity chain in America that got stock options.
" 'You're not union no matter how hard you try to be one of the workers; you're no longer union anymore. You have a house with a pool in Dover. It's a joke that you call yourself a union employee. You have stock in the company - you are the company.' "
After that harangue, Laquidara admits he did rethink a few things, took more interest in ratings, and tightened up his show. And two months later, the cashed check showed up in Laquidara's accountant's office. Then came a welcoming letter from the National Rifle Association, an invite to meet with President Bush, and a thank you from the tobacco lobby. As a prank, Karmazin had divvied up the three grand to give to Laquidara's three least favorite causes in Laquidara's name.
